Abstract

Mechanical systems subject to friction hysteresis exhibit amplitude dependent frequency responses. This paper derives the describing function (DF) of the Dahl friction model subject to a sinusoidal input. This DF is useful for analysis and modeling of systems subject to friction hysteresis from frequency response data.
